Web Content to Get, Receive, and Process TrafficObviously the most important piece of the puzzle for any e-business player is having good content online and placing it in a way that accomplishes positive objectives. It is not enough to get pages of articles or websites online, it is also a question of where pages are put, how they look and function, how easy they are to find, and how likely people are to visit the pages once found. While there is a considerable amount of science to the process, there is also a bit of art in bringing all the elements of good content to a successful (monetary) conclusion.

Mastery of Extremely Basic Skills and ResourcesThere are not a whole lot of skills to master in order to become a wealthy affiliate, but there are a few. Any online businessman must learn the basic skills of copying and pasting, including learning the ability to understand the tiniest amount of html coding. Beyond that, basic typing is more than enough as virtually every other needed technical skill or service is either available for free or can be bought dirt cheap.

Monetization Schemes - Right Traffic, Wrong Offer? No MoneyMany times websites can do a pretty good job of getting traffic about current topics, but ultimately fail in terms of cashing in on that initial page view. Sometimes a great idea gets mis-matched with the wrong offer and the end result is a site with good traffic that makes no money. While that would represent a partial success, in the end the web businessman is about turning traffic into cash.

Automation - Complex Sales Require Multiple ContactsA mistake a number of beginner marketers will make is to target high-commission, big ticket sales items. The problem with this strategy is that unfortunately big ticket sales are usually very complex, requiring multiple contacts with potential clients in order to convert them to sales. People simply don't re-visit a site over and over again on their own. That is why it is important to have ways to collect and contact leads automatically once they have demonstrated interest in what you have to offer. Automation and multiple contacts is the big step beginners have to take to become a wealthy affiliate.

Data Tracking to Improve CompetitivenessAnother important aspect of internet marketing is doing the homework of research and data tracking to continuously monitor and improved competitiveness of online content. There is always room for improvement on any offer, website, or product. Data tracking is where successful marketers figure out where to get the biggest return on investment in the least amount of time. Time management (see above about automation) is a huge factor in learning how to become a wealthy affiliate.
